He was selected to compete at the 2014 Winter Paralympics held in Sochi, Russia. In his first event, the standing downhill, he won a silver medal behind Markus Salcher of Austria.[4] He won a second medal a day later, taking the bronze in the standing super-G as Salcher again won the gold medal.[5][6] Bugaev won his first Paralympic gold medal in his third event of the Games, the standing slalom. He led the field after the first run and extended his lead on the second to take the gold medal in a combined time of 1 minute 38.97 seconds, 1.27 seconds of second placed Vincent Gauthier-Manuel.[7][8] He won a second gold medal in the super-combined; he completed the course in 50.30 seconds to lead the field after the slalom portio of the competition and eventually won the event by 1.10 seconds over Matthias Lanzinger following the super-G portion.[9][10] Bugaev won his second silver medal, and fifth medal overall, in the giant slalom, finishing 1.43 seconds behind gold medalist Gauthier-Manuel on the first run and 0.57 seconds behind him on the second run.[11]
